Your thoughtful donation has brought both excitement and inspiration to our young readers. These historical fiction stories are not only engaging but also spark curiosity and discussion about important events in history.\r\n\r\nMy students were thrilled to receive these books and dove right into the action-packed stories. For many of them, this was their first introduction to historical events through the lens of a child their age, which made the learning experience even more meaningful. The books have sparked deep conversations, improved reading comprehension, and have encouraged even reluctant readers to turn the page.\r\n\r\nYour support makes a real difference in our classroom. By helping us build a rich and diverse library, you've contributed to a learning environment that values curiosity, empathy, and the power of storytelling. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and commitment to our students' education.","fullyFundedDate":1701531157300,"projectUrl":"project/read-to-engage/8078019/","projectTitle":"Read to Engage!","teacherDisplayName":"Teacher Turner","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp3609808_orig.jpg?crop=480,480,x0,y80&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1654206472961","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/3609808"},{"teacherId":8629796,"projectId":8781500,"letterContent":"Thank you again for supporting our folklorico group.
